I've got livestrong radars with the standard lens they come with and find they make the background a bit too dark so at times you can't even see the ball, tried my mates jawbones for a game and they seemed much better suited to cricket

That's more to do with the lens than the frame. I have Radarlock XL with a Jade Iridium lens (a green lens in plain English) and they are absolutely brilliant, I wore them for the first time during the H4L v CBF game, and wore them all day, despite changing light conditions, rolling cloud cover etc. They are perfect.

Jawbones give you the advantage of being able to change the lenses, the light enhancing ones are brilliant.

I use Oakley radars and have two pairs and two different lens types, the first is a normal stem pair with grey path lenses and they're great, I also have a red straight stem pair with Positive red iridium lenses in...
The iridium lenses are better in my view as they block out more sun and they are also reflective and people can't see your eyes.
The range size of lens I prefer as they wrap around my face better and do stop light sneaking in around the side of your face...

VR28 is the best suited cricket lense, as it highlights red against a green background. Will be a good all-round lense suitae for most conditions. I also have fire iridium lenses for bright sunny days, and persimmon lenses for overcast conditions.

In terms of frames and lense shapes you really need to go and try them on and figure out which fit you best. I have M frames with heater lenses

I use flak jacket, brilliant!!

Although when keeping I get sweat of my brow in the top corners of the lenses :(

As mentioned previously VR28 is the best lense, polarised is worth it too.

personally, I think everyone looks a tit in jawbones, not a fan.
